The whole "Theme" thing I believe makes for more fun if nothing else. My "Theme" is that Harley Earl (the manager of the design dept at GM at the time, he was responsible for many cars including the first Corvette.) brought his personal truck into the studio and let them have a little fun with it.

He did something very similar with his son Jerry Earl's 56 Corvette that he raced.

Stock 56 Corvette;

Jerry Earl's the "SR-2"

So I figure I can steal that idea and my truck is his and he let the design studio make the first "Cameo" with a Corvette 235, that's my story and I am sticking to it!
